Industrial production and capacity utilization: 1998 annual revision

Charles E. Gilbert and Richard D. Raddock

Federal Reserve Bulletin, 1999, vol. 85, issue Jan, 20-33

Abstract: In late 1998, the Federal Reserve published the results of an annual revision of its measures of industrial production, capacity, and capacity utilization, which cover the nation's manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities industries. The revision involved both the incorporation of newly available and more comprehensive source data and, for some series, the introduction of modified methods for compiling the series. The revised figures show stronger growth of both production and capacity since 1996; however, the overall capacity utilization rate was little changed from the previous data.
